Tesla has reportedly ramped up production at Gigafactory Texas to thousands of units per week, with the addition of the Model Y Long Range on top of the Standard Range version.
Tesla CEO, Elon Musk noted during an interview with Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley that the company’s new factories, including Gigafactory Texas, are “money furnaces”.
Gigafactory Texas is one of Tesla’s most important projects, as it invested billions of dollars in the factory, and it will not break even until the plant reaches volume production.
According to a recent report from Electrek, Giga Texas is now capable of producing at least 2,000 vehicles per week since the Model Y Long Range was offered to customers.
Other sources indicated that Tesla was already making as many as 5,000 cars per week.
In either case, reaching a run-rate of 2,000 to 5,000 vehicles per week is impressive, considering that the facility was just opened last April.
Twitter user @JoeTegtmeyer shared images of the model Y production ramp up as the second quarter came to a close.
